Panthers Light Up Senators, Snap Skid

0:00It's April 1st in H.O. News today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Buffalo Sabers just hit a huge milestone, snagging 100 points with a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders at Keybank Center. Paying Krebs banged in the go-ahead goal late in the third period at 1659, putting them up 3-2. It's their first time reaching that mark since the 2009-2010 season, sitting pretty at 46 wins, 21 losses. And 8 overtime losses. Jack Quinn and Taka Thompson each lit the Lambe once, and dropped an assist, helping Buffalo snap a 3-game skid with two straight dubs. Uco Peca-Luconin stood tall and net, turning aside 26 shots to seal the deal. Over on the Islander side, Braden Shen tallyed a goal and assist, while Bo Horbat dished two helpers. Ilya Sarokin fought hard with 29 saves, but they couldn't climb out of an 8-3 hole from their Monday beat down by Pittsburgh. Now, at ABA.

1:0142 wins, 29 losses, and 5 OT losses. The game stayed tight with power play strikes from Quinn early, Richie Tion in late second, and Thompson regained in the edge early third. Anders Lee even did again on a deflection. But Krebs' one-timer off Alex touches backhand feed, flipped the script, followed by Bowen Byrams. Empty Netter and Shen's buzz-a-beater, with two ticks left. Sabers are rolling toward the playoffs, with that century mark in the bag, showing they got the grit to grind out these thrillers all season long.
